What if Mexico builds the wall?

[JohnnyRingo]

Trump is slapping new tariffs on everything that comes from south of the border, except perhaps spray tan products, in demand that Mexico curtail the caravans from Central America immediately.

I don't know how that's going to shake out, but my biggest fear is Mexico saying they're finally sick of this crap and build a wall along their northern border.... and paying for it. Even if it's ten miles, or a bunch of sandbags with "wall" painted on them, I'd have to move to Greenland. I'd have to move because I'd no longer be able to leave the house in case I run into a Trumpie. I'd put my face in a pillow and scream until I turned blue. I admit I'd melt like a snowflake in hell.

Talk me back to my happy place.

1. I wouldn't worry about it.

[JohnnyRingo]

2. Yeah...

I guess it's not like the world's gone crazy in the past two years or anything.

4. They have no reason to do it, or the ability or desire to spend an estimated $60B.

It's an absurd idea.

7. It was tongue in cheek.

A sort of worst case scenario to the new tariffs. At least for me. Trump would be (more) insufferable.

3. Mexico is likely to build the wall so they don't have to look across

their border at the racist, anti-immigrant Americans.

5. mexico is suddenly going to turn into east germany and build a wall to keep people in?

donald fraud is one of the very few people who could cook up such an idiotic idea.

6. I'm more concerned about abrogation of the Treaty 0f Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Look it up.
